Sometimes I feel like I’m photographing movie stars.  For one, every couple I work with has this incredible chemistry.  I mean, they’re getting married, so I guess it’s expected, but it’s just so incredibly sweet!  But with Sarah + West, I felt like they were doing all the work and I was just hanging out […]

There’s something so sweet between Courtney + Chris.  They’re calm and relaxed, but know how to have a great time, and really enjoyed celebrating their wedding day with friends and family!  The Vintager Inn proved to be the perfect location with its large barn, since it drizzled their entire wedding day.  It’s so disheartening as a […]

Can I make a confession?  Sometimes I still get a little bit nervous before a session.  It’s not often, but I just know that this is a very special day for each person in front of my lens.  Maybe it’s their wedding or engagement, or maybe they haven’t done professional photos in a year… or […]

Back in January we shared some really big news… we fell in love with a sweet little boy and within hours started the adoption process.  You can read about it and watch our announcement video here. We haven’t updated a ton because, well, it’s pretty standard.  Tons of paperwork and so far we haven’t had any updates […]

Oh these two– you’re going to fall in love with them as much as we have!  They are a strong couple– the kind that love fiercely, and already have a strong sense of family.  We got to watch not only as they did their first look on their wedding day, but also the joy and […]

Believe it or not, the engagement session is often our first time meeting a couple!  But with Kim + Derrick, that’s not the case for this power couple.   Derrick was one of the first people we met when we moved to Virginia 5.5 years ago and he quickly became a close friend.  In fact, […]

We originally chose Sandy Bottom Nature Park for the Hetke family session, but as they told me more about how they’d be moving soon, it was clear that we needed to move the session to the beach as a memory of their home here.  And lucky for us, this dreary month of May settled down […]

You guys are going to flip over Sarah + Tim’s engagement session!  They’re two laid back and fun loving people and I love their style!  We had perfect sunset lighting for their session– so perfect that we were able to shoot in all directions, which is pretty rare. After all the cold, gray days we’ve had this […]

I wasn’t nervous as I stood in the back of the church that day.  I was so excited I started jumping up and down, big white dress and all.  My white flip flops from David’s Bridal were flopping up and down, so I decided to take them off before I walked down the aisle.  No […]

People look at me kind of funny sometimes when I say our entire business runs off of referrals. It’s not that we set out to be that way, it just kind of happened.  We really focus on giving our customers a great experience and we work our butts off to provide them with a quality product… […]
